Abstract

As the world is combating climate change, a lot of countries have started to make key changes in using alternative energy such as biogas in order to reduce carbon footprint and protect the environment better. Lacking approaches on international level and proper governance and regulation on biogas makes a significant difference as shown in this article. This study compares the approaches taken by Thailand and Malaysia in utilising biogas as one of the means as both of them are having almost similar capabilities in having biogas energy. Findings reveals a more proactive governance and comprehensive framework of Thailand as compared to Malaysia for the biomass development through consistent Feed-in Tariff incentives, investment support and the active participation through the adoption of international mechanisms.
